Thanks John. There were several RBENGINE76.CFG found, but none were in
either a "good" or "bad" folder. I copied the "good" RBENGINE76.CFG
from the the target folder (where RBG76.EXE is located) into the
Start-In folder where the "bad" db is located. This is assuming RB
looks first in the Start-In folder for a CFG and, if not found, reads it
from the target folder and ran RB from the "bad" icon. The "bad"
behavior continues.
Do you/RBTI want a copy of the Table.all & LOB files to try and duplicate?
Thanks,
Doug

Thanks Razzak.
I deleted the only row from SYS_THREE3 table but that didn't help.
The Data Browser still disappears for any table I try to open.
I copied a backup from two weeks ago to the directory and the Data
Browser disappears from it also when I try to open a table.
I closed the db and navigated to a different folder using the
Database Explorer, opened a different db and Data Browser disappears
there also when I open a table.
I closed that RB session and opened another one from a different icon
which points to different "Start in" directory - data browser works
fine.
If I navigate to the directory and db that was originally giving me
the "disappearing browser" problem, data browser works fine!
Searched the C: drive and deleted $$$ files from Doc &
Settings\...local Settings\TEMP
There are no $$$ files on the network drive where the RBTI software
folder is.
I created a new shortcut starting in the problem directory - still
have the disappearing data browser.
I created a new subdir and copied the Table.all and Table.LOB into it
(they are the only two files in the new subdir), started an R:Base
session, ran the Table.all file. It created a one table db and when
I try to browse that table the browser disappears. Navigating to any
other db subdir and browsing a table in any other db also results in
a disappearing browser.
So - it seems that running the Table.all file corrupts the data
browser for any db that is browsed using the R:Base shortcut in which
Table.all was run.
The RBASE.DAT in the "bad" start-in directory is CONNECT database and
RETURN.
R:Base 7.6, version 30515
Running Win 2000
I apologize if all that is confusing to follow, but it's pretty weird.
Thanks for your help, looking for blues clues cures :)
Hello Doug,
R:BASE sessions behaving different when you launch from different
locations is good clue that there is a problem with a configuration file.
Search and locate all RBENGINE76.CFG files on the computer by
displaying the search results in the "Details" view mode. You may see
a CFG in either of the different "Start in" session folders, or both.
If there is CFG file in the "Start in" folder where R:BASE launched
the Data Browser correctly, it is likely a good CFG file. Try placing
the same CFG file in the other bad "Start in" folder, or at least the
C:\Windows directory.
John
